What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an app with high-quality educational videos and thousands of practice questions tailored for Indonesia's K-12 curriculum, focused on preparing students for college entrance exams. It helps students learn math, science, social studies, and languages through concepts explained in local context, plus test prep modules for major national exams.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in West Java, Indonesia, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

We chose West Java because it's where our team and user base are. Being local helps us deeply understand curriculum standards and student needs in Indonesia's education system.
